John Talbott [Jr.] of Talbott's Last Shift ^{1 2}

  Research Notes:

From The Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, Maryland by J. D. Warfield (Baltimore, 1905), p. 530:
"John Talbott, above, surveyed in 1732 'Talbott's Last Shift.' This is on the Patapsco, adjoining 'Moores Morning Choice,' 'Chews Vineyard' and Edward Dorsey's estate, near Columbia. It contained 1,120 acres. He sold it to Edward Talbott, Richard Talbott, Richard Galloway and George Ellicott.

"The Ellicott part was bought by Benjamin Dorsey, in 1741. Edward Talbot resurveyed his as 'Talbotts Vineyard' and increased it to 1,031 acres."

One of these was possibly this John Talbott (ibid, p. 530):
"The muster roll of Maryland shows the following Talbotts in the Revolution: Benjamin R. Talbott was with Thomas Lansdale Company, in 1776; Elisha Talbott was in the artillery at Annapolis in 1776; John Talbott was enlisted by John Eager Howard, in 1776; John Talbott, enrolled by Thomas Burke, was passed, in 1776..."

  Noted events in his life were:

• Surveyed: "Talbott's Last Shift," 1120 acres on the Patapsco, 1732, Anne Arundel, Maryland, (United States). This tract adjoined "Moore's Morning Choice," "Chew's Vineyard" and Edward Dorsey's estate, near Columbia. It was later sold to Edward Talbott, Richard Talbott, Richard Galloway and George Ellicott.

John married Margaret Webster on 22 Aug 1741 in East Nottingham Friends Meeting, Maryland, (United States). (Margaret Webster was born on 21 Jan 1725 in Bush River, Baltimore, Maryland, (United States).)
